Five months after the incident, Chris Brown finally made a public apology to Rihanna via a video statement posted to his official Web site. Apparently, his attorney advised him against speaking about the whole thing despite his deepest wishes to do so. He said: ” Since February my attorney has advised me not to speak out even though ever since the incident I wanted to publicly express my deepest regret and accept full responsibility, I felt it was time [that] you hear directly from me that I am sorry. I cannot go into what happened, and most importantly am not going to sit here and make any excuses. I take great pride in me being able to exercise self control, and what I did was inexcusable. I am very saddened and very ashamed of what I have done. My mother and my spiritual teachers have taught me way better than that. I have told Rihanna countless times, and I am telling you today, that I am truly sorry and that I wasn’t able to handle the situation both differently and better. As many of you know, I grew up in a home where there was domestic violence and I saw firsthand what uncontrolled rage can do. What I did was unacceptable 100 percent. I can only ask and pray that you forgive me – please.” VIDEO! » Read more
